Chapter 20 Yesterday and Today Are Not the Same
What is the use of debating if we only follow the general trend without regard to our own intentions, and only follow the will and ignore the facts? What's the use of contributing? This is the teaching of Master Zeng to all living beings, and it is also a wake-up call to all the officials and the teachers of the academy here.
Who is Master Zeng? The patriarch of the two dynasties, who once worshiped the Zhongshu Order, was the ruler of the court, and even today's saints respect him very much. Although he resigned from the government and taught in the academy for more than ten years, he was still rewarded from time to time in the court, and it is said that the saint still often writes to ask him about the government, which shows that his holy favor has not diminished.
Therefore, when Zeng Fuzi said such a thing to everyone, the officials present not only did not feel humiliated, but also showed a look of listening to the teachings.
At this time, no one spoke anymore, and most of the students were thinking about Zeng's words, some frowned, and some were thoughtful. Some people are stunned, and some people laugh happily.
Bai Molou smiled slightly, shaking the jade fan lightly, but immediately smiled at the corner of his mouth. Zhou Binjie grinned, happier than anyone else.
Xu Mingyuan also smiled and said nothing, feeling that his master's thoughts coincided with his own, and he also made a grimace at Zeng Qingyi, who was yawning under the tree.
"What the gentleman taught is that the disciple has been taught." Gao Thorn Shi got up, saluted to Zeng's disciple, and said respectfully.
"Follow the teachings of Mr.!" All the beings also got up and saluted to the disciples of Master Zeng.
Gao Tingshi turned to look at the students, and said loudly: "Today, I came to the academy to watch the debate, and the debate of the students is full of witty words, which are wonderful, and they are really the pillars of the country, and Gao feels that this trip is worthwhile." Today's debate, I think what Qian Jiaoxi said just now is extremely pertinent, Xu Mingyuan's debate is indeed excellent, and it is rare to have such an understanding of the Nanzhao tribes and terrain. ”
The beings were silent, and no one spoke to refute them.
Wang Luqi's mouth moved, but in the end he didn't make a sound, and his eyes gloomily glanced at Xu Mingyuan, who was squeezing his eyebrows with Zeng Qingyi, and his face was even more ugly.
Gao Thorn Shi made his position and agreed with Qian Jiaoxi's ranking, and the officials naturally would not have any doubts, and the officialdom was not as good as a place like the academy. And several teachers who were originally opposed, after seeing Wang Lu Qiyan's drums, also fell silent and said no more.
"Didn't Gao Thorn Shi stand on Zhan Nanzhao's side at the beginning, why is he on Brother Yuan's side now? Also, why did he call himself a disciple to his master, could it be that he also studied in our academy? Zhou Binjie rubbed his numb legs, thinking that Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou were getting closer, and asked softly.
"The dean was the abbot of the imperial examination for more than ten years, and this high thorn history was the jinshi that year, which should be the examination of the dean's abbot, so he called himself a disciple." Bai Molou said softly in a cold voice.
Seeing this, Master Zeng waved his hand and said, "Since everyone has no opinion, then the ranking of today's debate will be according to what Qian Jiaoxi said just now." It's hot today, so let's leave school. ”
After Master Zeng finished speaking, Gao Tingshi said a few words to the officials, and the group walked inside, and it seemed that there was still something to discuss.
The beings saluted again, and only after the teachers and officials had left, did they gradually leave. On the day of the debate every month, after the debate, the school is dismissed, and there are no classes in the afternoon.
Wang Ziqi left with a few good students, but he was still a little distracted by his appearance, and it seemed that today's debate really hit him hard.
Before Zheng Zhi and Ma Zhixiao left, they both came up to say a few polite words to Xu Mingyuan, and made an appointment to drink together next time.
Zhusheng three or two friends got together and discussed where to eat and play, and the conversation inevitably mentioned Xu Mingyuan, who was killed as a dark horse.
And looking at Xu Mingyuan's gaze was also quite complicated, and he didn't know what to think of this young Taoist priest who had just entered the academy and stepped on the throne of the popular Wang Ziqi.
Xu Mingyuan didn't care about the opinions of those students, and at this time, he was looking at the backs of your teachers, and asked Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie a little nervously: "What about the reward for this debate?" Doesn't it mean that the first place is rewarded with a consistent amount of silver? Why did they just leave? ”
Bai Molou rolled his eyes, took two steps to the side, and distanced himself.
Zhou Binjie hurriedly grabbed Xu Mingyuan, who wanted to go to ask Master Zeng for a reward, and said with a smile: "The academy reward will be issued in two days, this is my share, I will give you the silver directly, it's too tiring to carry the treasure in one go." Zhou Binjie said that he took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to Xu Mingyuan.
Xu Mingyuan took the silver, shook it, and put it in his arms with a smile. One or two pieces of silver can be used as a treasure, if ordinary people are enough to live for two or three months.
After receiving Zhou Binjie's silver, since the academy's silver will be sent later, Xu Mingyuan is not in a hurry, he walked in front of Bai Molou, stretched out his hand and smiled: "Xiaobai, what about yours." ”
Bai Molou took out a piece of silver from his arms with a cold face and threw it over.
"Alas, this time is also a fluke, let's come again next time, next time." Xu Mingyuan stretched out his hand to catch it and put it in his arms with a smile.
At this moment, Zhou Binjie took a few steps back with a somewhat uncomfortable face, and Bai Molou took two steps back to the side with a strange expression.
Xu Mingyuan had just put the silver away, and he was surprised by the performance of the two, and as soon as he looked up, he met Zeng Qingyi, who had already walked in front of him.
Today's Zeng Qingyi is still wearing a blue and white placket uniform, her hair is tied up with a white hosta, her eyes are slightly squinted, and she looks at Xu Mingyuan with a smile: "Stupid Mingyuan, it seems that you cheated a lot of money today?" ”
As soon as Zeng Qingyi appeared in front of him, Xu Mingyuan was also trembling, and almost jumped out subconsciously. Seeing that Zeng Qingyi didn't have the idea of making a move, he relaxed, cleared his throat, and said a little proudly: "It's just a little bit, do you want to invite you to eat the sugar gourd of the princess in the east of the city." ”
"Okay, then...... I want two strings. Zeng Qingyi thought for a moment, smiled and stretched out two fingers.
Xu Mingyuan looked at the smile on Zeng Qingyi's beautiful face, and couldn't help but lose his mind a little, it turned out that when Zeng Qingyi, a little goblin, was not crazy, he was still a little cute.
And Zhou Binjie, who was standing aside, his legs were weak, and he was ready to run away at any time, was also stunned, and then looked at Xu Mingyuan's eyes more and more adoring. Bai Molou's hand shaking the jade fan was also slightly stiff, but there was still no expression on his face.
And some of the students who haven't left yet, although they can't hear what the two of them say again, but when they contact the previous rumors, they see that the two are talking and laughing at this time, and they also have strange faces.
"Two strings?" Xu Mingyuan pretended to think, as if he had made a great determination before nodding and saying, "Two strings are fine, but you have to promise that next time you are fat, you can't blame me for buying sugar gourds for you to eat." ”
"Okay, okay, why are you so careful, more verbose than my grandfather." Zeng Qingyi frowned slightly, looking disgusted.
Xu Mingyuan felt that this sound a little familiar, but before he could speak, Zeng Qingyi looked at him again and raised his fist and said, "By the way, don't forget tomorrow's events, if you dare to lie to me, then you know the result." ”
Tomorrow's matter is naturally Li Taibai's sword, since he has promised Zeng Qingyi, Xu Mingyuan will naturally not regret it, he moved his nose away from the front of that delicate fist a little, and nodded.
Seeing Xu Mingyuan nodding, Zeng Qingyi smiled proudly, then looked at Zhou Binjie and Bai Molou and said with a smile: "Little fat man, Bai Bing Cube, you three are really like things." ”
Zhou Binjie smiled and didn't dare to reply. Bai Molou still had a cold face and didn't speak.
Seeing this, Zeng Qingyi waved her hand a little boringly, turned around and left. After walking out a few steps, he turned around and said to Xu Mingyuan: "Stupid Mingyuan, remember that it is two strings." ”
Xu Mingyuan rolled his eyes and nodded vigorously, and Zeng Qingyi walked with brisk steps.
When Zeng Qingyi walked away, Zhou Binjie stepped forward, looked at Xu Mingyuan with a cheap smile and asked, "Brother Yuan, what will happen to you and the female devil tomorrow?" ”
"Well, of course it's a good thing." Xu Mingyuan said on the ground.
"By the way, tomorrow will be off, I want to go to Micang Mountain to see, didn't you say that your master is a Taoist, let him tell my fortune." Zhou Binjie couldn't ask anything, so he changed the topic and said.
"Come if you want, come anyway, the mountain is there, but don't blame me for not telling you that Zeng Qingyi's little goblin will come tomorrow." Xu Mingyuan smiled.
"Huh?" Zhou Binjie's face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, let's go up the mountain another day, don't dare to bump into the female devil and your good deeds." ”
"Drinking, do you want to go?" At this moment, Bai Molou put away the jade fan and said in a cold voice.
Xu Mingyuan and Zhou Binjie were both stunned, Xu Mingyuan reacted first, kicked Zhou Binjie's buttocks, pulled up Bai Molou and laughed: "Xiaobai has a treat, then naturally I want to go." Zhou Binjie also nodded with a smile.
Bai Molou couldn't break free of Xu Mingyuan's hand, and could only helplessly let him drag him away.
A group of three people is still conspicuous.
However, today's Xu Mingyuan, in the eyes of all beings, whether it is hatred or admiration, is no longer just a poor and sour Taoist priest in the eyes of all beings.
can make the dean blue-eyed and make the history of Gao Thorn highly evaluated, such a person is a stormy figure in the academy. Although Xu Mingyuan has only been in the academy for three days, he has made everyone in the academy remember his name today.
It's still that Xu Mingyuan, but yesterday and today are not the same.
Out of the academy, Xu Mingyuan got into the carriage of Baimo Building. Although Zhou Binjie's carriage was as gorgeous, Xu Mingyuan was still more worried that the two horses pulling the carriage would die of exhaustion.
It was still the black-clothed groom who was driving, and when he saw Xu Mingyuan, he also nodded slightly. The carriage of Baimolou is elegantly decorated, and the heat insulation is also excellent, although the sun is scorching outside, the carriage does not feel stuffy.
Bai Molou said that he was going to the drunken Xiao Tower in the north of the city, and he had already decided what Tianxiao Pavilion was. Zuixiaolou is the best restaurant in Shuzhou City, and after a meal, you can't enter the door without a dozen taels of silver.
Shuzhou City said that it was not big, and it was not small that the carriage walked for a while before it stopped. Xu Mingyuan lifted the curtain and saw that the drunken Xiaolou had arrived.
Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou got out of the car, and Zhou Binjie also got out of the carriage with the help of his own groom. Look at the coachman is also a practitioner, otherwise he would not be able to support Zhou Binjie's volume of two hundred catties.
Xu Mingyuan and Bai Molou walked towards the restaurant, and the sharp-eyed little guy immediately greeted him, Bai Molou and Zhou Binjie are obviously frequent visitors to the restaurant, and Zhou Binjie is the young master of Fengming Street in the north city, and there is already a little guy who has gone to ask the shopkeeper.
As soon as Xu Mingyuan and the others stepped into the restaurant, they heard someone shouting loudly: "The master said that he wanted Tianxiao Pavilion, didn't you understand?" ”
